Well, basically I agree, but: these ELX have a weight of 18.8 kilograms each, they are not cheap, and at Thomann.de all customers who bought them left excellent reviews. If these heavy speakers really bring out less power than the Bose S1, all this satisfaction makes no sense to me.
Another thing I learned a long time ago:
I don't rely on reviews. People hear and see different things than I do. Plus everybody has different needs.
As a general direction yes, but I take them with a grain of salt.
I trust my eyes and ears and I know what I want.
Everybody seems to be an expert on the web these days
Again; if you can; try it for yourself.
Only you can be the final judge.

That's how I take reviews, too. Just as a general direction with a grain of salt as you say.
Luckily, in my region there are good chances to find instruments and speakers in stores to test them.
Still, I know a little about statistics, had to learn it in my first studies, and if a speaker gets such a high number of excellent ratings at Thomann, where only Thomann customers who actually bought the product are allowed to leave a review, it does reflect a steady trend about how good the speaker is, even if tastes are different.
These ELX speakers really seem to be roughly on the same level as a Yamaha DXR speaker, so it remains hard to explain how this Bose S1 Pro can compete against it.
Next time I'm in Cologne, I'll try to listen to it at Musicstore.
